    Google Voice typing tip

    For some reason no one I ask has ever heard of this so I thought I'd post it here just in case others don't know about it. To me it's a much better way of voice dictation. Normally when you use the Google keyboard or in my case SwiftKey to use voice dictation it types what you say on the fly...

    Verizon messages notification question

    I have a Galaxy S9 Plus. On the Verizon Messages app I used the menu in the upper left-hand corner and set my notification tone. The strange thing is whenever I get a new text in which there is no conversation to begin with I hear my tone. However, when the conversation is already there I get...

    MMS Wi-Fi stopped working

    I have a Galaxy S9 Plus. Normally I use the stock messaging app or Textra. For the past couple of months I've been using Textra no problem over Wi-Fi. Since I have Wi-Fi calling enabled SMS and MMS are sent over my Wi-Fi networks as I only have 1x signal in my house. I had the S8 plus before...

    I've been in contact with Verizon two separate times on chat, two times on the 800 number and I've called two different corporate stores. When I was going through the upgrade process on the My Verizon app to do an early upgrade from my S8 + to the S9 + it told me that my new device (S9) would...

    Messaging app background data

    My mom has a moto g with verizon allset. Since she rarely uses her phone away from wifi at home, I thought the included 500mb of data would be fine for her. Today she ran out of data, and the majority of it is background data for the messaging app. She's been sending a lot of MMS but they are...

    Help Keep ringtones from showing up in Google Play Music?

    I've read various solutions but nothing works. Creating a .nomedia file prevents them from showing up in the music player but it also removes them from the ringtones & notification lists. I keep them in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones etc. It's not a huge deal but it's annoying having albums...

    Has anyone used Chromecast with the Motorway G?

    If so would keeping it plugged in to the charger for hours at a time while watching Netflix be detrimental to the phone or battery? I'm concerned about overheating. I'm trying to decide between a Chromebook, another laptop, my phone with Chromecast, a tablet with Chromecast, or a set top box...

    I mainly use my laptop for 3 things, streaming flash video, paying bills, and browsing. I'm seriously considering selling it and picking up a Chromebook.

    Small chip on laptop screen

    I have no idea how it happened but I just noticed it. I've never had this problem before so does anyone think it will spread? It's really more of a deep scratch than a chip but It doesn't bother me because it's in the upper right corner and hard to see and I would hate to have to give up my...

    Problem with screen protectors...really strange!

    I ordered these from eBay and the first one had a really bad orange peel/rainbow effect so I thought it was defective. Turns out 3 out of the 6 pack all looked like this. At that point I gave up assuming all of them are that way. It's strange because I've never had this with any regular static...

    Otterbox defender questions

    I'm considering a defender and customer service said that if the built in screen protector gets scratched to the point where it impairs my vision they will replace in through the warranty. I'm just curious of what their idea of "impairs your vision" is. Has anyone had any experience with...
